Art for art's sake
Have I mentioned how much I love Hotel Babylon? that show is frikkin awesome =D I really must acquire it on dvd eventually.
There has been an "art piece" in the window of the empty shop next to my work the last two nights. It's a silhouette of a girl dancing projected onto some paper hung in the window. Interesting to look at, I suppose, even if I don't get the intent behind it. Some people walking past stopped and laughed because they thought it looked funny, because of the way she was dancing, and because the video was slightly sped up. I get that art speaks to different people on different levels, but I think laughing at it is particularly ignorant, and a very simple-minded response. Maybe it's me being a snob, but I do try and understand or interpret what I'm looking at, rather than just pointing at the funny image. Graagh. Heathens.
An electrician replaced the plug under my desk today while I was at work. Weird, people being in my room without me knowing about it... At least the guy put all my shoes back nice and straight tho, LOL!
